Hairballs and blogging
- 30 Dec 07, 11:41 AM
I鈥檓 not officially back in work until Wednesday, but it was either 鈥榥ipping upstairs to do a bit of writing鈥 or cleaning up the umpteenth hairball that the cat has suddenly found a taste for. I think it鈥檚 his way of getting his own back for us all leaving him on his own on Christmas Day as we didn鈥檛 want to leave Mother on her own - I鈥檇 dread to think what she鈥檇 have resorted to.
So I spent a good part of Christmas away from home. Away from the computer. Away from all that food we stocked up on for fear of the shops never opening again.
And it seems that a lot of the Manchester bloggers have been (or still are) away too, with little sign of life in that place affectionately known as the blogophere. Of course the really geeky ones have still managed to update their blogs and picture sites despite being miles from civilisation or 鈥榓nother chance to watch Extras鈥.
was heading for Inverness last time I looked while is spending a few days in that traditional New Year party hotspot 鈥 Llandudno. 鈥淭here is a creative purpose to my trip鈥, she says, 鈥渁s I'm thinking of setting a text in Llandudno. I did some research online and on Flickr, but obviously I need to go and see everything for myself.鈥 So what are you planning on doing for the other six days of your week there?
From next week the 主播大秀 Manchester Blog will be getting a bit of a rejuvenation as mentioned in the last posting -speaking of which thanks to all those who sent me their thoughts. Actually when I say all of those who sent me their thoughts, I mean just .
We鈥檙e going to be featuring the best and worse of the Manchester Blogs each week with a picture of the week and from time to time we鈥檇 like to offer you the chance to write something for us about blogging and the blogging community as well as having non-blogging guest writers along to write about pretty much anything. We鈥檙e also looking to update the blog roll. We can鈥檛 possibly list all the Manchester Blogs 鈥 does its best to do that anyway - but we do want to know what you鈥檙e up to so we can send you some extra traffic. We鈥檒l be listing blogs on merit.
Hang on, I can hear the cat mewing. It鈥檚 that mew that says 鈥楬ey I鈥檓 on my own down here and I have a little something for you鈥. I just hope he hasn鈥檛 bought another set of pans from bid.tv 鈥 it鈥檚 a long story.

Aw, thats a shame richard, because if i know me what i actually sent you was probably not what you wanted but a pretty random outpouring of whatever was in my head at the time.
Have a great 2008

Hi Richard,
Yes you're right we Manchester bloggers have been resting - if that's the right word. Although I did get time to do a micro review of the Dad's Army play at the Lowry just before 2008!
